Abstract: Enablement of the future smart devices to interact with each other for
the provision of intelligent and useful services to users is the focus of
research towards the realization of future networks. The conventional static nature
of networks is not feasible for the future networks which require scalability
and device mobility at its core. The usage of Identifier (ID) in conjunction
with a physical address supports mobility of the devices and the scalability of
the overall network. This paper presents ID based device communication and
control service in future networks. The study is performed using the test bed
for indoor environment management, which utilizes the data from indoor and
outdoor sensing devices to provide and optimum indoor environment (temperature,
humidity, light etc.) by controlling the indoor actuating devices. The test bed
implementation has been modified in order to execute the proposed ID based
device communication and control scheme and compare the results with the IP
only implementation of the test bed. The comparison reveals that ID based
device communication and control scheme can be as efficient as IP based routing
while providing the added advantages of coping with heterogeneity, scalability
and mobility in the future networks.
